Great art by Jim Cheung.
But I think Scott Snyder shouldn't handle cosmology.
Because he only connects his stories with METAL, the Omega Titans were too similar to the celestials and his sci-fi beyond METAL feels a little weak.

Tom King or Grant Morrison should be handling what comes from outside the Source Wall.

I never cared about Venom that much to pick up the main book. I've tried the Remender's and Bunn's runs in TPBs after they were done, I've tried the Costa's run to no avail , as it was awful at times. But seeing that this time it's going to be run by Cates and Stegman, it was a no brainer to try at least the first couple issues, as these two are some of my favourites in the industry. And what a shocker this issue was. The story is intriguing, dark, and even with some horror influences. Talking about the art, this is the best thing Stegman has ever drawn. Can't wait for the next issue. With this one and the Avengers last week, Marvel is definitely getting back into the game with the Fresh Start.more

It has definitely improve from the last issue, but many of the same problems are still there. I just don't feel like I'm reading anything in the rebirth continuity, it looks more like an Elseworlds story (Which by the way would be better).

In the end, this isn't a BAD story but it isn't a great one either which what it should be considering the material and the amount of HYPE it got. I don't know if at this point I should be hopeful that the story will improve but because Geoff Johns* is writing I am going to keep hoping. (Also Gary Frank's art is Magnificent)

THE MIGHTY THOR #700,
is a spectacular piece of art (by many "wonderful" artist) that pays homage to the designs of Jack "King" Kirby, modernizing them to this new age of comics. As for the story, we have to thank Jason Aaron that managed to take advantage of the great artist helping him in this project, the result is a superb story featuring The Mighty Thor, The Unworthy Thor (Odinson), The Ultimate Thor, etc.

DEATH OF THE MIGHTY THOR Part 1 The final judgement comes as the Mangog arrives! The War Thor will meet the beast head on. But even the bloodthirst of this Ultimate Thor may pale in comparison to the might of the Mangog! The battle rages as Jane's cancer takes a turn for the worse, and she might not have to wait for the final judgment at all. T...

ICE CREAM MAN,
"It is now an Ice Cream Man" is basically the premise here (at least for now) but the comic book doesn't fail to establish it's own personality, tone, and argument. ICM establishes characters marvelously (Detective Hwan, Byron, etc.) and shows the beauty of Weirdness. After reading the first issue I am absolutely sure that I'm going to read the next one as soon as it comes.

Chocolate, vanilla, existential horror, drug addiction, musical fantasy...there's a flavor for everyone's misery. ICE CREAM MAN is a genre-defying comic book series featuring disparate "one-shot" tales of sorrow, wonder, and redemption. Each installment features its own cast of strange characters, dealing with their own ...

DAMAGE,
is an overall acceptable story. It does suffer from many genre cliches (a jealous ex-partner, the obvious, villainous government amidst others) and an undeniable familiarity with THE HULK so while I am hopeful for The New Age of DC Heroes this is, an underwhelming start for the new line of DC heroes.

BATMAN #39,
Batman and Wonder Woman's relationship is put to test in this issue of Batman, though the story in this comic book feels somewhat lacking and in direct contradiction with the Bat-Cat engagement Tom King's writing is still very much respectable and Joelle Jones's art is endearing.

THE FALL AND RISE OF CAPTAIN ATOM
This time-travel fiction is written by Carey Bates and Greg Weisman with art from Will Conrad While it does fall in some genre cliche with its six issues this story manages to make the characters in it interesting and endearing.

Captain Atom hasn't been seen or heard from in years-and even if you think you know what happened to him...you're wrong! But you're not alone. To this day, no one on Earth-not even the other superheroes-has an inkling of the missing Captain Atom's true fate. At last, the truth is about to be revealed in a saga that transcends not only the meaning o...

this installment makes it very apparent to me that Geoff Johns was not the best choice to handle writing The Watchmen universe. perhaps he should have had a co-writer to better get the feel of Watchmen.

the DC Universe material seems adequate, but doesn't really feel like it lines up with everything else going on in Rebirth.

this feels more like some sort of elseworlds tale . . . one with very lazy writing.

-Ozymandias's motivation for wanting Mine and Marionette along for this ride feels weak at best.

-his choice to leave them behind simply handcuffed is way too easy to predict the obvious outcome.

-Rorschach's easy entry to Wayne Manor was ridiculous.

-Rorschach's even easier discovery and entry to the Bat-cave was even more ridiculous.

i still find it very hard to buy into the idea that someone would take up Rorscrach's mantle, and be the EXACT height, build, physical stature as Walter Kovacs. if this new guy is so much like Kovacs to even act and talk like him, i find it very hard to believe he'd be in league with Ozymandias.

-the resurrection of (name withheld) one particular character just felt very cheap!

the art has greatly improved over the last issue, better compositions, not just a cluster of face close-ups.

the overall idea of the meeting of The Watchmen and the DCU really does pique my interest, i just find the execution of storytelling very lacking.

DC and Watchmen characters collide at last! The story that began in DC UNIVERSE: REBIRTH #1 comes to a thrilling and unexpected crescendo in the pages of this titanic twelve-issue series by the all-star team that brought you BATMAN: EARTH ONE and SHAZAM!

Boy, this is harsh. I thought the discovery of the Batcave by Rorschach was ridiculously easy too, but I don't think the point was to show the process, more the result to make the story go forward. The resurrection needs some kind of explanation too, and fast, but still, being at the very end of the issue, I have hope it will be explained sooner than later. Hope you don't give up reading the series though! Cheers!

i think the reason i feel so disappointed is i had such high hopes for this joining of two worlds before it even became a thing. i'd imagined the ‘Before Watchmen’ minis ushering in Watchmen into the DCU. but now that this is actually happening it feels a bit deflated. the original Watchmen series accomplished so much with it’s first issue. so many characters and their world established, and where the story was headed.

Doomsday Clock #1 starts the series with not much actually happening, issue #2 has to play catch-up but still spends way too many pages/panels on details that only add ambiance. the plot doesn’t advance the way it needs to. feels like this series is trying for a cinematic/animated feel, but i wish it would just focus on actual storytelling. i’m just going to have to really lower my expectations and be ready for more style over substance with this.

Probably. It picked it up telling myself nothing could ever equal Watchmen in its scope and impact on the whoke media. I believe it needs to be enjoyed as a nostalogia piece and an hommage to something bigger and better. Anyways I do respect any opinion when its well explained like yours.

I share your opinion (myconius),
I don't feel like I'm reading "Watchmen" (nor some continuation of it) and I believe Geoff Johns sacrificed too much of Rebirth's essence just to make it match with Watchmen's.

that's a very good point. Geoff Johns is making the DCU feel too grim and not connected to how the characters actually feel. and i feel he is at a complete loss with how to write the Watchmen. this is abundantly with how much importance he has already put on the Comedian's Button. it was only a clue, not some almighty relic, or calling card. he has no idea.
